Ella laid in bed...not knowing how to feel..She thought for a while then called Sani...she told her everything and Sani just listened untouched..and just advised Ella to act like nothing was happening.
Ella's POV
She was in love with Ethan..this was for sure. She wanted to spend every second with him.His company made her happy and she liked it.. she'd already forgotten about David and started a new life but this shit happened again...now she didn't know who to love..besides..of recent, David had been unbelievably sweet t'wards her.
Ella just sat at the dinning table still having these thoughts in her head...her mother noticed she wasn't eating and came to her.
"Ella dear, she said with a calm voice, "why haven't you touched your food yet, don't you like it?"..Ella stared at her mom trying to smile, "no Ma, not that...I just didn't notice..urhmm.. I'll eat now" she ate slowly so as to convince her mother that nothing was wrong..."urhm..Ella dear", her mother said "the WSA you spoke to me about last month, how far with it?"... Ella shivered a little..she stammered.."urhmm..yeah, that..urhmm...it's good..it's good"..her mother noticed the tension in her tone and asked if everything was okay.."yes ma! everything's fine" Ella said almost immediately.
#lost in thoughts#
Of course everything was not fine, Ella had lost interest In this stuff and cared less about it...yes she'd always wanted to partake in the WSA (Writers Space Africa scheme) but the life she chose for herself now wouldn't let her...
"Perhaps I could just write a poem and submit to the scheme so as to make mum proud?" she thought. "at least this isn't bad..I'll do just this" she agreed in her head.
She finished dinner with her mum and wished her a good night...she ascended the stairs, walked into her room, picked up her pen and composed a poem using the specified theme. Today was the 14th and the latest date for submission was the 15th, reason why she had to compose it ASAP...After few minutes, she was done, clicked the submission link, and submitted.."finally!!" she exclaimed exhaling, "problem number 1 solved" she said slowly. "Now.. David.. problem number 2" she said as she rolled in her sheets and slept off.
